a good discussion of US IP law (the 4 categories) + the history of it, along with arguments for why it needs reform (quite radical tho still incremental in scope). mentions RMS too.
seems to agree with the point in my Logic piece that open source suggests the superfluity/fetters of IP law:
Indeed, the presence of alternative economic models such as those of the free and open-source software movement suggest that, in the new digital economy, property rights based on tangible goods are likely to have only limited success, and indeed might inhibit innovation and production.
